Klout API Codeigniter PHP Library

Leverage influence in your application. Knowing who’s important on any given topic or in a certain situation is a game-changer for many applications. Klout API lets you easily integrate Klout score and influence to take your app to the next level.

Here is the first release of my Codeigniter library for using the Klout API.  You can follow this project, as well as submit issues as you find them using Bitbucket: http://bitbucket.org/brandonbeasley/bb_klout

The Klout API library was developed on the Codeigniter 2.0 framework which can be downloaded here.

        ));
